    Hacking Nintendo Switch Banning Hub & Warning

    Hello everyone, I don't know how useful this is going to be, but a couple of month ago I went from running CFW to going clean by downgrading by restoring a clean backup before updating to the latest firmware. I haven't been banned, so far, though I did little more than using a few homebrew apps...

    Hardware 3rd party cable charges from plug but not from power bank

    I got a replacement cable shipped by the company, it was indeed a cable failure that for some reason didn't make it completely unusable. The replacement works fine, just as the original used to. Case closed, the cable's good, the Switch is alright too.

    Hardware 3rd party cable charges from plug but not from power bank

    I'm not sure I quite understand what you're suggesting. As far as I know, USB-PD is implemented with USB-C to USB-C connections, or plug to USB-C for that matter, right?Beside the official Nintendo charger that came with the Switch I own nothing that supports USB-PD, so every time I've charged...

    Hardware 3rd party cable charges from plug but not from power bank

    The strange thing is that the cable works, there's no problem with it. As I wrote before it doesn't look like it charges as fast as the other cables, but it works nonetheless, 2Ah at the very least. The problem hasn't manifested with a phone, just with the Switch charging from the power bank. In...

    Hardware 3rd party cable charges from plug but not from power bank

    Hello everyone, here's hoping someone can give me some information on this issue: I used to be able to charge my Switch with a 3rd party cable both from a plug and from a power bank, however the latter no longer works. The cable provided with the Pro Controller works correctly, so I know the...

    Ok, would that be done through Hekate, then? I thought restoring to a previous FW required other tools, so I must have misunderstood. Edit: Just to be clear, I have never updated without burning the fuses. Yes, I'd say that its would be best to boot back to a CFW if I were banned. There wouldn't...

    Hacking SWITCH NOOB PARADISE - Ask questions here

    Alright, thank you for the clear cut answer, it's reassuring! I hope not to be a nuisance, I've a few follow up questions: Is there a thread I should read and/or follow to make sure to restore correctly? Will I be able to boot normally after updating, since the fuse count will match? What do you...

    Terribly sorry if this has been asked in the past and because I'm technically asking a very similar question to the last I posted. I haven't read anything new about updating after downgrading since then, so here's the question: I'm on FW 6.2 and have a clean backup of 5.1, I gather it's possible...

    Hacking SWITCH NOOB PARADISE - Ask questions here

    Hello everyone, sorry to bother you with this, please bear with me. My goal is to have a clean switch and remove all CFW related things. Last night I updated from 6.1 to 6.2 via local wireless while attempting to only update Smash through a friend's console. I have a clean 5.1 NAND backup made...

    Hacking Is this flashcart compatible with ntrboot?

    So this one, essentially the same card with an upgraded default kernel, also won't cut it? I tried flashing it, without success.

    Thanks a lot for the reply! I wish I could say it worked, but, unfortunately, nothing came out of it ^^" Any other suggestions? Edit: Never mind, something must have clicked! I rebooted several times, reinserted the various carts at least three times that number and now I'm sorted. The guide...

    Hacking 3DS NOOB PARADISE - Ask questions here

    Hey all, I'm having trouble with DS games at the moment. I can't remember the last time they worked, but now neither legit cartridges nor an R4i are being recognised by my N3DSXL on Luma 8.1 (latest stable update) with 11.4.0-37E. 3DS carts are playing fine, I tried various DS carts but the...

    Hacking 3DS NOOB PARADISE - Ask questions here

    Everything went rather smoothly, though I did not encounter the SafeB9Installer I figured that if I was accessing the 8.1 configuration page I must have somehow installed b9s on my first attempt. Since I had formatted before, I then followed the CFW installation guide to install FBI and the rest...

    I'll try again, last time I did I used a copy of the files I had on the SD before I messed up and wouldn't get the chainloader. This time I'll just download all the files from the sources, maybe that'll do the trick. Edit: I've successfully loaded GodMode9, but there was no sign of the...

    I rather enjoy a life of taking it easy. I haven't reached that life yet though.
